WHEELS:
As a side note: I purchased all my extra wheels on the forum, off fellow drifters etc...

I paid 300 bucks for 6 wheels one time....
400 bucks for another 4 another time.
I drove to corpus and purchased 4 Oem wheels for 50 bucks once from a forum member on here...
ebay, craigslist...etc...you do what you gotta do to get your drifting fix.....lol..

SEE THIS THREAD ON WHEELS FOR DRIFTING:

TIRE BUYING:

I go to mom and pop tire shops with a buddy and a truck.....Don't take the Z as they will not give you a deal if you show up in a Z.....if they ask what car its going on, i tell them a 95 mustang...LOL...

When you buy in bulk you save!

I typically roll up to a tire shop and have money (CASH!) to purchase at least 4 tires!

At first they see if your an idiot and tell you "50 dollars a tire" and then i literally laugh in their face and tell them, "no way"....flash some cash and then tell them 25 a tire........or ill go elsewhere.

Usually i pay 20-30 bucks a tire....

I have a laundry list of places i drive too.....

I inspect every tire closely and make sure there are no plugs/patches, etc...and at least 6/32 thread still on them or more........

"crZydave" can vouch for this too, as he saw my spare tires at the event and flipped out that i got them for 20 bucks each that time......

You gotta be careful. Some tires like the stock RE040's chunk pretty bad. Also, the grip changes as they heat up. I use Federal 595 Nexen N3000 or Kenda KR20. They're cheap and made for drifting.
